About Me

Synopsis: This is a cautionary tale. A seriously disturbed couple find the charming, old ruin of a Queen Anne Victorian in Russellville, Arkansas, and buy it for $1.00. They tore the roof off, cut it in half, and had it moved to some land they owned sixteen miles away because they didn't know any better. Since then, they have hired and fired contractors, had all of their tools stolen, re-wired, re-plumbed, insulated, and essentially rebuilt the entire house. Their only problem is that after four years it still isn't finished. Now they are tired, broke, and wonder what in the hell it is they've done to themselves. And, it's haunted.

Art: From time to time, I receive requests for my art. If you would like to look at more of my art, go to The Failed Artist. If you would like to buy my art, email me. I am more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks!

Joseph's Coat

"Do you know that your roof is different colors?"

We get this question a lot, mostly from contractors. In fact, we do. While it wasn't our first choice for a roof, it was our best option at the time.

It occurred to me, however, that no Houseblogger had ever asked me about this. I think I may have mentioned it a time or two way back in the being, so maybe you already know. I am curious though. How many of you 1) already know why our roof is shingled in about 6 colors, 2) never thought about it and don't care, or 3) you think it looks like ass and were just being polite. With the exception of contractors who just have to know, most people fall into category three.
